00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.920
Hello and welcome lad you could join us. I'm Bill Martinez.
11
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:44.000
He is Bill Fetter from The American Minute. Bill. How
12
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:46.159
you doing, buddy? It is great to be with you,
13
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:50.359
Bill Well. Happy Veterans Day twenty twenty five. It is
14
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.759
on this day, November the eleventh, that Americans pause to
15
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.560
honor the brave men and women who have served in
16
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.880
our military. Veterans Day is an important day set as
17
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.280
I had to honor and show appreciation for all bets
18
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.480
who have served in the United States military in wartime
19
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:08.760
or peacetime, living or deceased.
20
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:14.319
Right, Yes, yes, It's an important holiday that traces back
21
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.959
to World War One for those not familiar. It was
22
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.519
on the eleventh hour, the eleventh day of the eleventh month,
23
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:27.560
and November eleventh, it's eleven o'clock. In nineteen eighteen that
24
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:32.439
World War One ended and it was a ceasefire. It
25
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:37.680
is called an armistice, and ironically it was signed at
26
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:41.680
five am, and they picked the piece to go into
27
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:45.840
effect at eleven am, right, and in that short time
28
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:50.359
between five and eleven guess what, another eleven thousand men died.
29
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:52.879
They were like, okay, the war's about to be over.
30
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:54.599
Let's let's try to get a little bit more land.
31
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:59.920
So when it ends, well, it's like anyway. But following
32
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:02.959
World War One, which was called the War to End
33
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:07.120
All Wars, President Warren Harding in nineteen twenty one had
34
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:10.800
the remains of an unknown soldier killed in France brought
35
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:15.800
to Arlington Cemetery and buried in the Tomb of the Unknown.
36
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.199
And you know, you can read the reports. You know,
37
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.960
they send somebody over there. He goes into a room
38
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:26.080
full of coffins and they want to randomly pick there's
39
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.800
a person that these are guys that they you know,
40
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.360
found the bodies without dog tacks, and so they didn't
41
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.680
know who they were, and he puts a rose on
42
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.000
one of the coffins, and that's how it was picked.
43
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.599
And they bring it over and they bury it in
44
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.039
the tomb of the unknown, so they did not know
45
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.479
who it was. And then inscribed on the tomb are
46
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:52.199
the words here rests in honored glory an American soldier
47
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:57.680
known but to God. Wow, that's Calvin Coolidge nineteen twenty
48
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:04.680
four dedicated the dedication to the monument to the American
49
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:08.120
Expeditionary Forces, and he said this, They did not regard
50
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:11.759
it as a national or personal opportunity for gain or
51
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.400
fame or glory, but as a call to sacrifice for
52
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:18.680
the support of humane principles and spiritual ideals. If any
53
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:22.319
doubt doubts the sacrifices which they have been willing to
54
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.719
make in behalf of what they believe to be the
55
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.520
welfare of other nations, let them gaze upon this monument
56
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:31.080
and others like memorials that have been reared in every
57
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.479
quarter of our broad land. Let them look upon the
58
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:37.319
representatives gathering of our veterans, and let them remember that
59
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:41.759
America has dedicated itself to the service of God and man.
60
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.039
And I just think it's important to understand that faith
61
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:51.719
was an integral part of Veterans Day, right exactly. Coolidge
62
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:56.520
nineteen twenty six issued a proclamation honoring Veterans Day every year,
63
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:58.879
so that's when you begin to see at an annual
64
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:03.319
eventnineteen thirty eight. It became a legal holiday nineteen thirty eight,
65
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.560
and so in nineteen fifty four they changed the name
66
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:10.840
from Armistice or Ceasefire to Veterans Day, so instead of
67
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.039
Armistice Day, it's Veterans Day. And then they broadened it
68
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:19.839
to honor veterans of all of America's wars, not just
69
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:25.959
World War One. And so four million Americans served in
70
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:31.240
World War One, and sixteen million served in World War Two,
71
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:35.800
and nearly seven million served in the Korean War, nine
72
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:39.480
million during the Vietnam War, and from the First Gulf
73
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:44.120
War to the present at least eight million men and
74
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:50.639
women served. And now, for those not familiar, Veterans Day
75
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:55.680
is to honor the living veterans. Memorial Day is to
76
00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:01.319
honor those who have died serving the country. The what's
77
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.079
the difference from a Veterans Day Memorial Day, Well, one
78
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.680
is the living veterans and the others a memorial to
79
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:07.480
those who have died.
80
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:10.920
Well, Bill, isn't a Memorial Day starting to broaden out
81
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.480
a little bit because you have you know, some vets
82
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:17.360
did not die in battle, but they die subsequent from
83
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:22.480
battle wounds, and they have now been I understand, are
84
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:27.480
being honored in the more Memorial Day context because their
85
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.480
sacrifice is as worthy as any even though their death
86
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:36.519
was you know, in a different situation. Wasn't on the battlefield,
87
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.079
but it was subsequent to ruins or something that happened
88
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:39.600
in the battle.
89
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:42.319
Right, Oh yeah, yeah, I mean you got you know,
90
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:47.199
loss of limbs, you got PTSD, you've got agent orange,
91
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:51.240
you got all these things that they suffered, but while
92
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.879
serving that they later died of. Yeah, but they risked
93
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:58.480
their lives to preserve the freedoms that we have. And
94
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.800
among these freedoms is for freedom of conscience, freedom of speech,
95
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:06.000
freedom of press, freedom of religion. And these are valuable.
96
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.480
They're under threat around the world today. I recently was
97
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:15.480
with a Anglican priest, Calvin Robinson, and he's a big, tall,
98
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.160
a black gentleman. You may have seen his videos of
99
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:22.959
him debating at Oxford, and he's brilliant and he moved
100
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.680
to Grand Rapids Michigan to pastor a church and he says,
101
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:28.680
I cannot go back to England. I said what he goes, Yes,
102
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:34.360
censorship laws, that's right. Sixteen thousand people in prison in England,
103
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:39.519
some for as little as liking a post or forwarding
104
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.600
a post, some for viewing a post. He says, murders
105
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.759
and rapist out of jail, so they can put people
106
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.600
that have liked a post in jail in England. And
107
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:54.040
then in Germany they're weaponizing the government against people, even
108
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.680
using high tech. There's an AfD party which is sort
109
00:06:57.680 --> 00:07:00.360
of the Freedom party over there, and they've had like
110
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:05.000
a dozen candidates mysteriously die while they're getting close to winning,
111
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:08.560
sort of like Mexico. Like every year when they have elections,
112
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:12.360
they have have dozens of candidates that some get assassinated
113
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.759
while they're taking a selfie with somebody. And then I
114
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.879
was recently in Soul, Korea with Charlie Kirk. Four days
115
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:22.240
before he died. We met with pastor Song Young Bo
116
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:28.519
Song and he organized a million Koreans to protest the
117
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:32.680
trans bill that they were pushing, and the government raids
118
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:35.279
his house, seiz his cell phones and computers files twenty
119
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:37.839
two Law fair charges against him. And we're meeting with
120
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:40.639
Charlie Kirk, and Charlie says, if they arrest you up personally,
121
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:42.839
I'm going to call President Trump. Well, they arrested him
122
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.639
two days after we left. He's in prison right now.
123
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.560
His staff said, we're going to focus on this political
124
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.600
weaponization against Christians in South Korea. We have one last
125
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:56.360
event in Utah, then we're going to focus on it.
126
00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:02.800
Obviously that didn't happen. Freedoms that we enjoy in America,
127
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.800
they're rare and they need to be defended. And we
128
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.839
honor the veterans who were willing to risk their lives
129
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.879
to defend these freedoms, and so we can pass on
130
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:17.480
to our children a country with the freedoms that we inherited.
131
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.560
And Bill, as much as you know about history, and
132
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.519
you see this encroachment on our freedoms, on freedoms outside
133
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.920
of America, I mean, because they still in Western civilization
134
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.839
respect and honor some of these freedoms they have traditionally
135
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.120
and for them to be impinged on, what kind of
136
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.919
warning does that give you as a historian in terms
137
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.759
of what is near and present in terms of a
138
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:42.200
danger to America.
139
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:47.799
Yeah, you see that people that don't. It's the price
140
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:51.519
of liberty is eternal vigilance. In other words, what do
141
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.320
you do to you have to get weeds in your yard? Nothing?
142
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.639
You do nothing, and you get weeds. It's sort of automatic.
143
00:08:58.080 --> 00:08:59.840
What do you do to have your freedom? Stick away?
144
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.879
To sit back? And the people with ill intent will
145
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.919
encroach on your freedoms? And so you have you know.
146
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:11.840
Deuteronomy twenty eight has blessings and cursings. It says, if
147
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:13.559
a nation hearkens to the voice of the Lord, they'll
148
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:14.960
be the heading, out the tail above and up. And
149
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:17.799
if a nation does not hearken to the voice the Lord,
150
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.679
it says, the stranger will come in amongst you and
151
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:24.360
rise up above you, and they will be the head,
152
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.519
and you will be the tail. They'll be above, you'll
153
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.440
be you need you'll they'll lend to you, and you'll
154
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.320
have to borrow it. So how did God judge Ancs
155
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.320
and Israel. He let the stranger come in the malchi
156
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:35.759
hit tag mobi, turbite, mosquito, bye, parasite. All the ocres
157
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:39.600
exactly pressed the children visual until what until they repented,
158
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:41.679
and then God rings up a delivered and drove them
159
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:44.159
out and then the cycle went in again every forty years.
160
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:48.320
And so America has been blessed, but we've turned our
161
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:51.919
back on God. And so now we see we're the
162
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:56.600
most indebt nation in world history, thirty eight trillion dollars exactly.
163
00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:01.159
And debt is a curse. Tell people, debt is fat
164
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:03.759
to the body politic, it's like what And it's like, well,
165
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:05.519
what's fat? Well, you eat something you shouldn't and you
166
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.320
got to carry it around. It's dead weight. It's not
167
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:11.720
brain tissue or muscle cells. It's just fat. But you
168
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.399
have to keep it alive. It takes effort. And so
169
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:16.360
what's debt? You spend money you shouldn't have spent it,
170
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.320
but you got to pay interest on it. And in
171
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.600
the next ten years, if this isn't fixed, all of
172
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.360
the money from taxes will just go to paying the
173
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.039
interest on the debt.
174
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.080
At that point, we're already paying more in interest so
175
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.960
that than we do are foreign military. Right now, we're
176
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.200
up over a trillion dollars in interest payments now. Bill.
177
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.679
Yeah, and you know the Bible says a good man
178
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.840
leaves an inheritance to his children's children. Well, what do
179
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:48.080
you call somebody who leaves a debt to their children's children, right, right,
180
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:53.240
So we need to be concerned and we on veterans
181
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:55.840
stay remember those who are willing to pay the ultimate
182
00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:58.720
price for our freedoms, and we why do we do
183
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:00.399
this to remind us that we have to pay a
184
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:01.919
price to pass it on to our kids.
185
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.600
Exactly. Well, Bill, you know you talk about the stranger
186
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.279
coming in. I mean, of course, we just had a
187
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:11.480
big election for the biggest city in our country, New York,
188
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:17.879
and you've got a Muslim, no apologetics, no apology whatsoever.
189
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:25.039
He's a Muslim, and he's now taken over with promises
190
00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:28.639
that many of us, many of us conservatives, just like
191
00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:30.960
so many things that have come down the pike. You know,
192
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.799
we've seen on the horizon what it brings, whether it's
193
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:36.399
the Affordable Care Act or some of these other government
194
00:11:36.440 --> 00:11:39.000
programs that we see that are just a ruse. They're
195
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:42.480
just to get votes. They really can deliver. And we've
196
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:44.720
warned people time and time again, and here again we
197
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:48.480
warn people about what Mamdani has to offer in terms
198
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:52.440
of everything, including a free lunch. I guess, but you
199
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.240
know this is all representative to where our country is going.
200
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:59.120
As you mentioned as we have continued to turn our
201
00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:01.320
back on God. This has been going on for over
202
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.320
one hundred years. It's been a gradual, progressive march through
203
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:13.720
all the institutions, and our disconnection from God is being demonstrated.
204
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.720
The results of that, the fruit of that, are becoming
205
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:19.399
more and more evident. You just mentioned, you know, one thing,
206
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:23.320
which is our debt. But look what's happening to our marriages,
207
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:29.080
our family. You know, the absolute horror surgeries that are
208
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:32.200
happening to young kids because they want to change their sex,
209
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:35.759
and all this gender confusion that's taken place. I mean,
210
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:37.799
it's it's like we've lost our minds. Bill.
211
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:40.759
Yeah, you know, there is even a verse. I think
212
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:44.320
it was in either a Ezekiel or Isaiah, but it
213
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:46.879
says that one of the judgments, he says, this will
214
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.039
happen to that, and he says you'll rip off your
215
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.879
own breasts. Yes, talking about women was like, what a
216
00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:55.960
weird judgment. It's like these surgeries. Yes, you know, I
217
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:57.240
was sad.
218
00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:58.720
But I mean you look at building stuff for just
219
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.320
a minute. I mean, this is like a sala moment.
220
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.399
You never once surrounded the Bible. You hear Selah and
221
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.120
you just got to pause and embrace and meditate on
222
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:08.559
that for just a moment. The Word of God even
223
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:11.159
warns you that you're going to rip off your own breast,
224
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:14.440
and we're doing this right now in twenty twenty five,
225
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:17.600
to our young girls. What I mean, if this is
226
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:20.039
in some form of judgment, I don't know what is Bill.
227
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:25.759
So. A month ago I spoke for a pastor, Chris
228
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:30.240
Toma in Michigan, and one of the other speakers was
229
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:34.279
Chloe Cole. She was twelve years old, going through a
230
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:39.720
normal adolescent tomboy phase, searching for OURDA. And the school
231
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.480
comes and they're all, oh, well, you're really a boy
232
00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:45.600
and a girl's body, and if you get these hormones,
233
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:47.519
and they put them and then they sit the parents
234
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:51.159
down and they say, would you rather have a trans
235
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:54.279
son or a dead daughter? And the parents are like
236
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:56.360
surrounded by these people with the white coach and they're
237
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:59.279
like uh uh, And so they sign sign her away
238
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:04.759
and later they find out the statistics are the exact opposite.
239
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:08.559
It is the trans agenda that causes them to want
